In this paper, we study the joint learning of object detection and semantic segmentation, the two most popular vision problems, from multi-task data with partial annotations. Extensive experiments are performed to evaluate each task performance and explore their complementarity when a multi-task network cannot optimize both tasks simultaneously. We propose employing knowledge distillation to leverage joint-task optimization. The experimental results show favorable results for multi-task learning and knowledge distillation over single-task learning and even full supervision scenario.
